On the existence of solutions to generalized Navier–Stokes–Fourier system with dissipative heating

We consider a flow of non-Newtonian incompressible heat conducting fluids with dissipative heating. Such system can be obtained by scaling the classical Navier-Stokes-Fourier problem. As one possible singular limit may be obtained the so-called Oberbeck-Boussinesq system. However, this model is not suitable for studying the systems with high temperature gradient. These systems are described in much better way by completing the Oberbeck-Boussinesq system by an additional dissipative heating. The satisfactory existence result for such system was however not available. In this paper we show the large-data and the long-time existence of dissipative and suitable weak solution. This is the starting point for further analysis of the stability properties of such problems.
